Fraxel® Laser

Fraxel® is a fractional laser resurfacing treatment that may be used to address concerns such as sun damage, fine lines, acne scarring, pigmentation, and skin texture. It delivers controlled microscopic columns of laser energy into the skin, which may support the skin’s natural healing response and collagen production.

Unlike fully ablative lasers, Fraxel® treats a fraction of the skin’s surface at a time, with typically less downtime than some other resurfacing treatments. At Erase, Fraxel® is performed in a clinical setting using appropriate protocols to support safe and effective treatment delivery. It may be used on areas such as the face, neck, chest, and hands, depending on individual concerns.

Fraxel® may be considered for concerns such as photo-ageing, melasma, pigmented lesions, actinic keratoses, and textural irregularities. It may also help improve the appearance of scarring, including post-acne scarring.

Prior to treatment, a topical anaesthetic may be applied to support comfort. The procedure typically takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. After treatment, the skin may appear red and feel warm, with temporary swelling, roughness, or peeling that may occur over several days.

Some individuals may notice changes following a single session, however results vary between individuals. A series of 2–4 treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended depending on your skin concerns. Changes may continue to develop over time as part of the skin’s natural renewal processes.

A consultation is required to assess your skin, discuss expected outcomes, and determine whether Fraxel® is appropriate for your concerns. Pre- and post-care plans are provided to support recovery.

  • Fraxel® may be used to address concerns such as sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, pigmentation, melasma, and uneven skin texture. It may also be considered for certain skin lesions, including actinic keratoses, following clinical assessment.

  • Fraxel uses fractional laser technology to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process may support the skin’s natural healing response and collagen production. Over time, it may help improve the appearance of skin texture and areas of visible damage.

  • Skin may appear red and swollen for several days following treatment. This may be followed by dryness, bronzing, and peeling over the subsequent days. Many people feel comfortable returning to normal activities after around 5 to 7 days, although recovery times vary between individuals.

  • Some individuals may notice changes following a single session, however results vary between individuals. A series of 2 to 4 treatments spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart may be recommended, depending on your skin concerns and goals. Changes may continue to develop over time as part of the skin’s natural renewal processes.

  • Fraxel is generally best suited to fair to medium skin tones. It may not be appropriate for darker skin types or those prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation. Your clinician will assess your suitability during consultation.
